Whitney Leavitt is leaving it on the dance floor.
One week after fellow Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck hinted at a feud between them, the 32-year-old addressed the rumors.
"I'm trying not to focus on that," Whitney told E! News after the Nov. 4 episode of Dancing With the Stars. "Just trying to focus on all the people that are supporting us, because I'm so grateful for them. It motivates us, it keeps us going, so thank you."
As for what fans can expect from her, Jen and their costars on the upcoming season of Mormon Wives, Whitney teased, "I think, generally, a lot of people have had questions from the last season, and you're going to get some answers."
Whitney's comments come after Jen—who was eliminated during week seven of the dancing competition—subtly threw shade at Whitney during an Oct. 29 TikTok live video she filmed alongside professional partner Jan Ravnik.
After sharing that she would be cheering for Andy Richter or Robert Irwin’s victory now that she’s no longer competing, Jen cryptically added, "I would be rooting for a former MomTok person, but we won’t be getting into that.”
Indeed, Jen alluded to trouble to come for the Hulu series, telling inquisitive fans, “You’ll just have to wait for season three.”
Taylor Swift’s former backup dancer, however, wanted to keep his side of the street clean, with Jan quipping during the TikTok Live, “Too much drama for me.”
Of course, any fracture between Whitney and Jen is far from the first controversy to stem from Secret Lives, or even its Dancing With the Stars crossover. Jen’s husband Zac Affleck—who shares kids Nora, 3, and Lucas, 2, and Penelope, 8 months with the reality star—recently had to clap back at critics who posited he was happy about Jen’s elimination.
When a TikTok user posted a video Oct. 28 impersonating Zac as he supposedly pretended to be upset about Jen’s elimination before flashing a smile for the camera, the 29-year-old slammed the jokes, commenting, “You’re honestly disgusting. Grow up.”
Meanwhile, other Secret Lives stars have not been immune to jaw dropping plotlines. In the teaser for the upcoming Secret Lives season which hits Hulu Nov. 13, Jessi Ngatikaura breaks down in tears over speculation that she cheated on husband Jordan Ngatikaura.
As she tearfully tells fellow star Taylor Frankie Paul in the Sept. 16 trailer, “When this airs, it’s all going public.”
